Introduction to the team

We build the intelligence layer for Expedia Group’s advertising supply. Our systems forecast ad inventory, track delivery accuracy, and flag at‑risk campaigns across global markets. Advertisers use our forecasts to plan and book with confidence; Revenue Operations uses our risk signals to prevent under-delivery.

As an SDE2 on M&I Forecasting, you’ll own and evolve global systems that predict ad inventory and surface delivery risks, designing and operating forecasting services at production scale. You’ll expand coverage to new markets, improve model precision, and strengthen observability so we can detect and fix deviations fast.
 

In this role, you will:
· Design, develop, and maintain robust, high-performance services and applications, contributing to end-to-end feature delivery across multiple domains.
· Implement clean, testable code, including system design (low-level design), API design, and data modeling, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
· Collaborate with peers, product, and operations teams to translate business and customer requirements into technical solutions, using data and metrics to guide decisions.
· Own the full software development lifecycle for your services, including code reviews, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational support in production environments.
· Safely integrate and operate AI/ML‑enabled solutions that improve outcomes, including familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products.
· Contribute to shared platforms, libraries, and patterns that can be reused across teams, increasing engineering efficiency and enabling fungibility across multiple product and service areas.
 

Minimum Qualifications:
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field; or Equivalent related professional experience.
· 2+ years of relevant professional experience
· Hands-on experience with object-oriented and functional programming languages(such as Kotlin, Java, or similar), data structures and algorithms, and core software engineering practices such as code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD, and observability.
· Demonstrated ability to design and implement service- or API-based solutions, including basic data modeling and system design within a single service or small set of services.
· Experience collaborating in an agile environment, owning features from design through deployment, and supporting them in production within a team or product area.
 

Preferred Qualifications:
· Experience designing and evolving service architectures, including thoughtful low-level design, API contracts, and data models that support reliability, performance, and extensibility.
· Proven experience operating systems at scale, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and continuous improvement of reliability, latency, and cost.
· Track record of using data and experimentation to drive engineering decisions, optimize user experiences, and improve system behavior.
· Familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products, including safely integrating AI/ML‑enabled capabilities into existing services.
· Experience contributing to technical direction within a team through code and design feedback, and applying modern engineering practices (e.g., automation, security-by-design, performance tuning) to elevate overall code quality.
